Chrono Trigger comes to iPhone next month photo

Ah, another Chrono Trigger port. I'm not complaining, though. I haven't finished it on the 1,323 other devices I own it on, so I'm planning to get it again for iPhone next month and not finish it again.

Pricing and solid date information have not been released yet, but Square Enix has confirmed that the RPG classic Chrono Trigger will be hitting the App store next month for iPhone and iPod Touch. There are new menus and touchscreen controls, but the rest remains as it was in the Super Nintendo days.

Square Enix, take my money again!

I tried to play it on the DS but found it very boring. I'm sorry, I know the game is a classic but I just couldn't get into it.

I've already got the DS version. Maybe if this were Chrono Cross I would be interested.

I just played it for the first time two months ago on my Xperia Play. It might have a slow intro, but once you get to the time travel, that game started shining. I completely understand why people call it the best game of all time. Now I need to play the sequel on my phone and see what all the fuss is about!

@Dalkilazical: Just wasn't for you, I guess! I loved the game, but not everyone needs to share my view. Not until I create a totalitarian regime, anyway.

Fuck another Chrono Trigger port. They should fix the damn lag in War of the Lions first...

If this means even another young-in discovers this game, I'm all for it.

This is another port they can claim we didn't buy next time we ask about another sequel.

@Quantum: exactly. I played enough to recognize that Chrono Trigger is a great game and I understand why it's so beloved. I have just never enjoyed turn based RPGs, probably because I never played any as a kid. For me it's all about Zelda type action.

Pfft, iPhone isn't for real games like this. Square is wasting it's time on this piece of fail.

War of the Lions is still broken on 4S isn't it?

Finish the damn game. It's not that long and/or hard.

Its kind of funny. Not too long ago you couldn't get Chrono Trigger on any device. I'm not complaining though. Its one of my favorite RPGs. I just wish Earthbound was more accessible.

First off, Chrono Trigger is one of the pillars of classic RPG's from the bygone era.

Second off, screw the App Store! How can you port CT to Wii and PSN, but NOT Xbox Live Arcade????

I love Chrono Trigger, friggen LOVE it! Though ugh, as someone who grew up with the original on SNES, and has bared witness to all the ports thereafter, I've had enough Chrono Trigger to last me a lifetime. Unless they make an actual sequel.

I will definitely give this a chance if the price isn't super ridiculous. Squeenix has a tradition of overprices iPhone games, and I wouldn't expect this to be much different.

If you're looking for great old school RPG'in on the iOS, check out Guardian Saga. It's a perfect Dragon Quest rip-off for 2 bucks. Can't beat how much fun it is.
